Early Tuesday, some of George Santos' constituents are boarding a bus to Washington to confront house Republican leadership and demand that he be removed.
Congressman Santos says he's bringing a guest, former volunteer firefighter Michael Weinstock.
Weinstock is a Democrat who previously ran for that third district seat and a former 9/11 first responder who says he wants to highlight ongoing health issues facing first responders like him. But Santos lied about his own association with 9/11, falsely claiming his mother died as a result of the attack."I went back and forth and then I just recognized that this was a special opportunity to talk about firefighters who don't have health insurance as well as talk about people who are exposed to asbestos and other toxins, and that's something that speaks to my heart. So, for those reasons I had to say, 'Yes,'" Weinstock said.
Weinstock said that he's already facing consequences for choosing to associate with Santos. He told Eyewitness News that the law firm he worked for has fired him. Meantime, one of Santos' staffers, Mario Nicoletto, discussed his decision to resign as a Queens District Office Staff Member.also asked Nicoletto about where he thinks the hundreds of thousands of dollars came from in Congressman Santos' campaign. He says he has no idea.
